IMPROVED CLOTHES-DRYER.

Be it known thatf-I,, FRAKK G'B'tmbALnof Erie city, county of Erie, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improved Adjusthble Clothes-Dryer, and I do hereby declare the following to be on exact description thereof, reference. being hadto the accompanying drawings, ahd t0 the letters of iteierenoe marked thereon, making a part of this specification, in which i Figure l is a perspective view of the clothes-dryer.

Figure 2, a front view, showing the racks raised.

Figure 3, an end' view, showing the racks raised or, inclined.

The nature of my invention is a se ries of rocks, (suspended and pivoted on post s,) one above the other, the larger or wider rack being below. I

A A represent the two upright posts resting upon feet B. The aldjustzible' racks are formed of rounds DD set into side piecesEE permanently, the racks being placed one above the other, and revolving upon the round braces G G that extend from post to post, end also sliding from side to side upon the rounds G. A square notch, H, is cut on the outside of the'side pieces E, so as to fit against and clutch the side post A when the racks or clothes-dryer are intended to be used. The rocks are pushed to one. side until the notch. H .fits to the post A, on one side of the dryer. The racks are then in a. horizontal position, and the clothes are hiring hcross each round D, and when the clothes are dried and taken off the dryer the rncks are pushed sidewhys from the clutched post, and revolve until they are set at an incline, (as at fig. 3,) and the dryer can he placed in any qprner of a room out of the way, and occupying very little'space.

What I-clnim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The construction of the adjustable clothes-racks, revolving oneabove the other, with notches H on the side pieces E, to clutch the outside posts A so asto hold the racks in a horizontal position for the clothes to hang on, as herein described, and for the purposes set forth.
